Newsday reports that William Shatner hosts five countdown hours of "100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders" today from 5-10 p.m. on VH1.

James Spader told talk show host Conan O'Brien (via Contact Music) that he had recently filmed a bedroom scene with Shatner for Boston Legal; he described how Shatner smells and added, "After we finished the scene, he sort of was dealing with me in a very different way than he had before...and he spoke in a different tone, a sort of closer tone - pillow talk."

John Billingsley (Phlox) and Chase Masterson (Leeta) have both confimed they will join Trek to the Troops.

On a recent visit to Israel, Leonard Nimoy (Spock) told the newspaper Ha'Aretz that he was no longer interested in acting.
